I downloaded the zip file of latest firmware, unzipped, and then found that there is no instruction how to update firmware of Mars Pro.

Anyone want to challenge?

Wow, I asked ELEGOO to show some instruction how to update the firmware, and quickly they added an instruction how to do it! Thanks, ELEGOO!

Could you expand on the procedure, I unzipped the file getting a top folder named
ELEGOO MARS PRO Firmware V4.3.4-F2.14

Inside this folder were two more folders named
mars prošĖŧū20201022
and
mars pro固件20201022

inside those two folders were the 5 prescribed files needed to update, yet the printer says they are invalid.

Though my MARS PRO firmware was V4.3.4-F2.14 already when purchased, I tried updating as described in ELEGOO web site.

5 files were scattering in two folders when unzipped. I just copied all of 5 files which has indicated extension .SH4, .CBD, .logo, .bin, .txt to the root of USB stick. Then I plugged it to MARS PRO, and printed each file.

At first, when printing .SH4 file, MARS PRO said firmware file is the same version as installed, which is just I expected. Then I printed all of other files, and MARS PRO just finished printing them. No error happened. Nothing changed, as there is no change in firmware version. :-P

So the firmware file available in ELEGOO support web site is proper. Please check that you downloaded exactly MARS PRO firmware, not other one such as MARS, MARS 2 PRO, etc. And also make sure you unzipped properly. I unzipped the firmware zip file by macOS Finder standard archiver, so zip file format is probably standard zip format. However, some of the files contained in the firmware zip file had Chinese file names, so if your archiver does not support non-latin language code, it may be corrupting those files.
